Zero Dark Thirty - "can't you put a camera in these trees?"

What was the deal with that jab at Panetta? I highly doubt that could be verified being said.

Just thought it was unnecessary and odd.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Dodd, put down the crack pipe and slowly back away.

Take up drinking. It's much safer.

Sorry, I'm a light weight after two glasses of vino.

In ZDT, they are briefing Leon Paneta of the possible UBL compound and he makes some kind of uneducated comment about putting a camera in a tree near the compound. It's a dead silence moment that made LP appear to be a dumbass. He may have been one, but just thought an intense moment of the movie was sidetracked with that line.

Oh, I as watching the movie at the time I started the thread. Carry on.

Be a man, drink some scotch, take a night off the posting

Is that the movie where they forgot to turn the lights on for the last 30mins

Think it was a shot at civilian leadership at the Pentagon.

I don't think Panetta was an idiot, but he had limited experience to be Sec. Def.

I actually know what you're talking about bc I watched it this weekend.

Didn't really think much of it. Might have been said, but doubt it with these sort of movies. There are so many claims about whether it went down the way the movie says
